Robyn Hitchcock, The Egyptians - The President lyrics
[Robyn Hitchcock, The Egyptians - The President lyrics]
The President is talking to
Us through a microphone
Like he's trying to pack his mother off
To an old people's home
I know you're out there
I know you're out there somewhere
I know you're out there
When I hear the word "Democracy"
I reach for my headphones
He's the president of Europe and
He's talking to the dead
They're the only ones who'll listen or
Believe a word he said you know I'm out here
But you can't see me, darlin'
You know I'm out here
When I hear the word "Security"
I reach for my shotgun whoa oo-whoa oo oh
He's standing in a cemetery
Inside the western zone
I listen on the radio, I'm glad I'm not alone
I know you're out there
I know you're out there somewhere
God knows you're out there
I can almost hear it raining
I can almost hear it raining
I can almost hear it raining
Us through a microphone
Like he's trying to pack his mother off
To an old people's home
I know you're out there
I know you're out there somewhere
I know you're out there
When I hear the word "Democracy"
I reach for my headphones
He's the president of Europe and
He's talking to the dead
They're the only ones who'll listen or
Believe a word he said you know I'm out here
But you can't see me, darlin'
You know I'm out here
When I hear the word "Security"
I reach for my shotgun whoa oo-whoa oo oh
He's standing in a cemetery
Inside the western zone
I listen on the radio, I'm glad I'm not alone
I know you're out there
I know you're out there somewhere
God knows you're out there
I can almost hear it raining
I can almost hear it raining
I can almost hear it raining
